The Intersection of Business and Disability:

National Network for Women and Girls with Disabilities

With support from CREA, we have been working to establish a national network for women and girls with disabilities in Kenya in a bid to strengthen advocacy and build our collective voice.

Advocacy for Women with Disabilities

Working with community-based groups of women with disabilities in various counties training around leadership and advocacy skills to enable constituents engage with policymakers and influence change. 

Adaptive Sports and Health 

Circa 2013, we begun a wheelchair rugby workshop that used adaptive sports as a platform to provide access to Sexual and Reproductive Health services to women with disabilities in Nairobi. Over 200 women with disabilities received reproductive health services through partners like Family Health Options.   

Leadership for Women with Disabilities

Creating opportunities to build the leadership and provide mentorship to young women with disabilities.

Employability Skills Development

Building supply - increasing the employability of youth with disabilities by focusing on soft skills development.

Kenya Business and Disability Network

Encouraging demand - contributing to making the business case for disability inclusion within national private sector companies.

"Faces of Diversity" series

With support from the Australian High Commission (DFAT) in Nairobi, Kenya, This-Ability commissioned a series of photographs to create visibility for young women with disabilities in an effort to challenge stereotypes around gender, sexuality and disability.
